Thank you, Robert. Do you have any information about Bi-Xenon headlights for the C-coupe?

So nice to see a post from Robert...RAB. How are you dude?

As usual, this is good information, but as Lynn says, the boys on this forum will hound you mercilessly until you differentiate whether your post pertains to all models where Xenons are currently available... or to the C-Coupe (too) where Xenons currently are not offered.

Sorry, Bi-Xenons do NOT show up on the Configure/Order screens for the '03 C-Coupe, nor have I read anything official that they may be included as an option in the near future. ...RAB

Yes, I see what you mean. Lynn has already 'flogged' me and my post isn't even dry yet. I'm going immediately back to my original post and edit it to reflect the C-Class 4 DOOR, not the 3 DOOR. Thanks, ...RAB

Do you know (or is it possible for you to find out) if the bi-xenon lights can be plug into a 2002 C32? Is it a plug & play job?

Thanks very much!

Robert, would you by any chance have the complete W203 options list? My dealer said they will not receive it until one month before MB begins production on '03 C32's.

John,

Per your request:

MY03 C32 AMG Option List

CODE OPTION PACKAGES

172 C4: Value Added Lighting Pack
600 Headlamp Washing System
614 Bi-Xenon Headlamps

311 K2b Motorola V60 Phone/CD
038 Integrated 6 Disc CD Changer
050 Motorola V60 Phone

313 K2c Motorola V60 Phone w/VR and CD
038 Integrated 6 Disc CD Changer
051 Motorola V60 w/VR

OPTION EQUIPMENT

048 Navigation CD Collection, USA/Canada
254 Standard Audio Electronic Radio
282 Ski Sack w/Trunk Pass Thru
345 Rain Sensor
352 Comand System w/o Cassette (Comand I)
540 Power Rear Window Sunshade
600 Headlamp Washing System
691 Blue Glass w/Rain Sensor

Production of '03 C32 AMG's has already been started. In fact, many are on the water as I write this. Keep in mind, arriving at VPC and being released will not coincide. I don't expect the '03 C-Class cars to be officially released until early August.

For those that are going to ask, no, the official MSRP figures have not been released and I don't expect them until a few days before the launch.

...RAB

You get air in the tires. What more do you want?

Besides, Parktronic 'Park-by-Braille' implies you may lack certain youthful skills and you don't want to be labeled as 'visually and motor skills impaired', do you? ...RAB

Please, more info.

Mr. Brown, your info is much appreciated. When and if you can post more ordering codes for 2003 320s, I would be greatful. I've got an order in for a new wagon and I don't want to overlook any goodies due to my dealer not letting me know what's what. Thanks in advance!

You guys get any more demanding and I'll have to start charging Mr. Vanos for my services. From what I've seen of his expensive toys, he may not be able to afford me, too.

Not all codes purtain to all MY03 C-Class. Some are limited to specific C models. It's much too large of a code spread to list them out separately by specific application. You'll just have to make your local salesperson earn some of his/her commission money. ...RAB

heheh, thanks for the info. but i'm sticking to the 2 door theory and a tail opening/closing mechanism so it is a coupe!

btw, i thought the bi-level xenons were going to be optional in december so it may not show up yet. does that make sense?

It's a bit early in the year to rule '03 C-Coupe Bi-Xenons in or out for December's production schedule. I don't see M-B adding them to the C-Coupe list in the middle of the model year. It would just irritate too many buyers that weren't smart enough to utilize the vast resources of MBWorld.org and become better educated buyers.

So, to answer your question, no it does not make sence to me. ...RAB

What's the difference between Xenon and Bi-Xenon in both looks and performance?

Bi-Xenons are both high and low beams. Standard Xenons are just low beam.
